Coshocton County student receives scholarships

Hayden Burkholder, of Fresno, has received an AK Steel Foundation Scholarship award and a Wayne F. White and Bob Evans Scholarship award for the 2014-15 academic year.

Burkholder is a graduate of Ridgewood High School; he plans to attend Kent State University to pursue a degree in aerospace systems engineering.

The Foundation for Appalachian Ohio awarded 103 scholarships this year, totaling more than $151,000 in post-secondary support to the region's students.

The Wayne F. White and Bob Evans Legacy Scholarship was established by family and friends of the two men, including Bob's wife, Jewel Evans - both she and her husband Bob founded the original Wayne White Scholarship - to honor the legacy and commitment the two friends had to the Appalachian Ohio region.

Each year, the Foundation for Appalachian Ohio's scholarship funds offer opportunities to students across the 32 counties of Appalachian Ohio.
